Pikes Peak
Here we are on our way up and ontop of Pikes Peak.
Bishops Castle
Here are some pictures of Bishops Castle. Bishop is bulding this castle all by himself with little or no help from anyone else. He uses steel for the skeleton and rocks that he picks up along the road for the outside. His castle is located on Greenhorn Hwy. (Hwy 165)right by Fairveiw. This is North of Colorado City. This castle has alot of unique things in it and on it. The exterior has a smoke bellowing,fire breathing dragons head along with things that look like onions (e-mail me with the names). On the interior there is a dungeon down below,a main dance hall/congragation area that has stained glass windows on each end with rock walls on the other 2 walls this is located on the split level floor.This level also has a parial glass ceiling. There are also spiral stair cases that go up 2 columns so you can get a birds eye veiw of everything. These extend aproxamatly 4 to 5 floors up (alot of climbing LOL)
On the Gold Belt Highway
Upper Left: This is a tunnel that was carved out of the side of the mountain to let the trains from Victor and Cripple Creek go to Cannon City and beyond. These roads were built mainly with convict labor in the late 1800's to early 1900's. Now these have been coverted to roads with breath taking views. Upper Right:We ran into this Mennonite family taking group pictures at this condemed tunnel. The sigh on the right of the picture said due to heavy traffic and the make up of the ground the rock was breaking up and falling into the tunnel(this part of the gold belt highway was paved and heavily used). Lower Left:This is one of many lakes we came accross on our drives around Cannon City on the Gold Belt Highway. There were quite a few people fishing. Lower Right:Find the deer. This is one of the many deer we came accross.We barely spotted it and as we watched it it kept laying flat on the ground then i would make a noise and it would stand back up only to lay back down.
